YCA Program at Saturday

Students eating in any pf the six school cafeterias are
paying a nickel more for their lunches following a decision
of the Board of Education March 15. t«
The price increase went into effect Monday.
• Easter Sunday is regarded by, untold millions around
the earth as the world's most important religious holiday.
One-"of the most joyous days of the year, it symbolizes the
reawakening' of life that is universally associated with
springtime.
The Ipresent-day parades that mark the day had their
beginning in the original Easter walk of Europe, when devout men and women congregated and walked in. an orderly
manner through town and into the open country, stopping
along the way to recite prayers and sing Easter hymns.
Today in many American communit.es, elaborate Easter
parades find women and children in their new finery — the
husbands, and fathers going along for the walk. And. one of
the most charming of all customs is the Easter egg hunt for
the children — renewing the custom that is older than
Christianity..
: ' Easjter combines a rich mixture of laughter and solemnity. Both ar> good— both are needed by-the.soul of man.
, Yes, Easter Sunday is one of the great days of the year,
a day of joy for you and your family.
T$e Promise Of Easter
- It is in the^ spirit of humility and /reverence' that we will
go out-this Easter1 moi-nihg to celebrate the gre^at festival
of the Church'—the day that commemorates not the* sorrows, of''earthly--life', not the Way of the Cross, but the
Ressurrectioh — tiie victory of the spirit" oyer the flesh.
■ " r.These ai;e troublous times. Day,by day. we climb to our
Golgothas. We cannot shift our burdens t'o another's'shoulders. We.cannot shirk the steep-hills/and' the heavy height
that seems as unbearable as it appears interminable, Tiie
darkness that-covers half tite:eartfc;overshadows-flur-pathV
way1'".-.-v.-,'.. ';.-;.
■?-^:|i(ltli'..i6,'|c* dark, ho way, too long, no weight too
heavy,'however, when we know that at the end there will be
ah Easter morning. It was this translation of the lessons of
religion into -terms of living that gave those who preceeded
us strength to endure, courage to go forward. It is ,this
spirit, this realization of the impermanence of evil, that will
catty us through.
', For across the daftness falls the light of Easter — the
pledge of life and of life eternal, a life in which there shall
be neither sorrow or parting nor affl ction of heart and soul
The pledge of the resurrection symbolized in Easter is like
a light in the darkness — a ray of sunshine falling across
a woodland glade, dark, and cold from the devastation of
wintry blasts and the.melting snows of countless storms.
To the worried, Easter brings hope; to the downcast of
spirit, courage; and to those who have lost all that was deaf
to them in life, it brings the comfort of faith. It is the
triumph of good over evil — of truth over error, of life
over death, of the~Eternal Goodness over the forces of evil.
Ih the words of the old hymn, "Weeping may endure for a
night, but joy Cometh in the morning."
Easter is the eternal pledge of the resurrection. The
prophetic voice, set to triumphant strains of music, still
rings out: "I know that my Redeemer liyeth — and because
He lives, I too shall live!"
Greatness Of America1
This Lenten season seems an appropriate time for printing here a quote from that eloquent historian of the last century, the Frenchman Alexis de Tocqueville, Time was when
his classic "Democracy iri America" was required reading in
high school. We hope it still is.
"I sought," wrote de Tocqueville, "for the greatness and
genius of America in her fertile fields and boundless forests;
it was,not there, I sought for it in her free schools and her
institutions of learning; it was not there. I sought for it in
her matchless constitution and democratic congress; it was
not there. Not until I went to the churches of America and
found them aflame for righteousness did I understand the
greatness of America. America is great bcause America is
gopd, When America ceases to be good, America will cease
t& be great."
Jthas been more than a century-and-a-quarter. since
those observations were reported to the French nation. Perhaps }% will be useful to reflect upon theni as the most joyous day oh the Christian calendar approaches.
-: -One would like to read what de Tocqueville would write
after seeing the Americans today who chant the "God is
dea*!'.' 4;heme. Our own experience has been that it took som6
really hard thinking to remember in WHOSE image it was
tha£°:inan was 'created.
',; Historian de Tocqueville had something more to say
about Americans.
'•■••'■'"They-'have-all a lively faith intKe^perectibflity of mati,
they, judge thai the diffusion of knowledge must; necessarily
W advantageous, and fhe obrisequehces of ignorance fatal;
)&&&sill consider society as a body in a state of improvement
fpnahity as a changing scene, in which nothing is, oroughf
to be, 'permanent; and they admit that what #ppear$.,tp
them today to. be good may be superceded by something
better, tomorrow — It is strange to see with what feverish
ardor..the.Americans pursue their own welfare, and, wat«h
the' vague dread that constantly, torments, theni..lest they
shouid hot have chosen the shortest patih which riW "lead
to it?••■■.•. ...... ■•.... - -
-• -•-., If the flame of America's greaHirie^s was litit* churches
a cehtury-and-a-quarter ago, perhaps it is still there today.
"■>:'■*.'"The Easter season of rededication would be a good time
to go and find'out.
Yale Strausser voted against
the measure, proposed by Richard E. Davis at tlie Board's meeting at the Junior High SchooL All
others voted.for it, after studying a six-month summary which
showed deficits in two cafeterias.
The summary did not include
costs for 'custodial help, heat,
light, or maintenance. Superintendent E. R. Malone recommended waiting until the end of
the school year to determine if a
jump in prices was necessary.
Neither the administration nor
board members could remember
if there had ever been a raise
in the 35 cents charged for high
school lunches and the .30 cents
for elementary school meals.
Approximately 2,300. meals .are
-erved daily in the schools. Davis
estimated more than $6,000 would.
be realized from the increased
irices. He argued against taking
money from the general fund to
oay cafeteria deficits.
In other business, the Board:
APPROVED request for a
■"800,000 tax advance from the
Counity Auditor to meet 'current
expenses.
ACCEPTED disability retire-
-neht of Mrs. Sheila Marquardt,
'tome economics teacher since
'946, effective April 1. The Board

oreciation. They also accepted

ieber as custodian, effective
\pril 1. Although there are five
'.pplicants for the job, no recom
nendation for a replacement was
•made. .
APPROVED the treasurer's re-
->ort for February showing re
■o.pts of $64,082.20 and disburse-
nents of $154,239.84. Balance is

Malone said, and more on the

aid this is comparable to the

HEARD that the State Department of Education report shows
hat current expenses per pupil

income. ., . ,■■■-■,

Olympic Champion Inspires Youth
Praising .North Canton's Young Citizens Award program
as "a model for the whole country to follow," the Rev. Bob
Richards gave a stirring message of inspiration to the over
800 attending the 10th anniversary YCA awards dinner last
Saturday. His" enthusiasm for the young people of today was
contagious as he related experiences of his contact with over
eight million students in the past 20 years.
Seventy-five per cent of the
sports world is mind," he said,
pointing out that success or failure in athletics,' as in life is decided largely on your attitude
about it and about yourself.
Negative Thinking Destroys
"Make up your mind what you
ire going to do and do it" he
challenged his audience. "Negative thinking can blind and paralyze," he warned.
"I love the sports world because it tells you about life-the
jweat, the blood, the pain, the
excitement and the thrill of the
battle," he said. "It is a world
of self-reliance, where your own
will and your own power are
needed- you 'can't out talk an opponent."
"It is also counterbalanced
with the spirit of team work. You
must submerge your own ego
info the good of the team. In
athletics there is no question of
national origin, color or religion,
but only the question-can you
play the game?"
Aroused Pride Needed
Making a plea for an aroused
pride arid self-respect in man-
king, he lamented that too many
of us '"belong to the greatest religion of all-the 'I can't do it' or
it can't be done religion."
"You can't tell a man he does
not count," he warned, and continued "You show me a man who
has no pride or self-respect and
I'll show you a dangerous man."
"America, the greatest nation
on the face of the earth, is no:
selling its best-products. It is the
greatest political experiment in
his'.ory, where there is no divine
right of kings-only the sacredness
of the human being and the individual. Let the inherent worth of
each come forth!" he urged.
The former Olympic champion,
who has devoted his life to inspiring the physical and spiritual
welfare of young people, related
that he has of en been accused of
"muscular Christianity." He call-
Gord "the greatest coach, champion and motivater of all."
"The challenge of adults, ed-
uc ltors and young people today
is,, to find the key that will stimulate the intellect and motivate
the dormant and unused potential of so many of our young
peoole," he advised.
His enthusiasm for you.njj
people and their accomplishments

Olympic Champion Inspires Youth
Praising .North Canton's Young Citizens Award program
as "a model for the whole country to follow," the Rev. Bob
Richards gave a stirring message of inspiration to the over
800 attending the 10th anniversary YCA awards dinner last
Saturday. His" enthusiasm for the young people of today was
contagious as he related experiences of his contact with over
eight million students in the past 20 years.
Seventy-five per cent of the
sports world is mind," he said,
pointing out that success or failure in athletics,' as in life is decided largely on your attitude
about it and about yourself.
Negative Thinking Destroys
"Make up your mind what you
ire going to do and do it" he
challenged his audience. "Negative thinking can blind and paralyze," he warned.
"I love the sports world because it tells you about life-the
jweat, the blood, the pain, the
excitement and the thrill of the
battle," he said. "It is a world
of self-reliance, where your own
will and your own power are
needed- you 'can't out talk an opponent."
"It is also counterbalanced
with the spirit of team work. You
must submerge your own ego
info the good of the team. In
athletics there is no question of
national origin, color or religion,
but only the question-can you
play the game?"
Aroused Pride Needed
Making a plea for an aroused
pride arid self-respect in man-
king, he lamented that too many
of us '"belong to the greatest religion of all-the 'I can't do it' or
it can't be done religion."
"You can't tell a man he does
not count," he warned, and continued "You show me a man who
has no pride or self-respect and
I'll show you a dangerous man."
"America, the greatest nation
on the face of the earth, is no:
selling its best-products. It is the
greatest political experiment in
his'.ory, where there is no divine
right of kings-only the sacredness
of the human being and the individual. Let the inherent worth of
each come forth!" he urged.
The former Olympic champion,
who has devoted his life to inspiring the physical and spiritual
welfare of young people, related
that he has of en been accused of
"muscular Christianity." He call-
Gord "the greatest coach, champion and motivater of all."
"The challenge of adults, ed-
uc ltors and young people today
is,, to find the key that will stimulate the intellect and motivate
the dormant and unused potential of so many of our young
peoole," he advised.
His enthusiasm for you.njj
people and their accomplishments
